Understanding Medicare Options

Choosing the right Medicare plan can feel overwhelming given the variety of options available. It's crucial to understand the different parts of Medicare to make an informed decision.

Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D

Medicare Part A covers hospital and inpatient expenses, while Part B includes doctor visits and outpatient services. Part C, or Medicare Advantage, offers an all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare, often including additional benefits. Part D covers prescription drugs.
